Notes:
Summary It has been found that the direct simulation Monte Carlo method as developed by G. A. Bird, gives number of molecules per cell independent results for the shock structure in binary gas mixtures, if the number of molecules per cell is sufficiently large. Up to a certain number of molecules per cell, separation, shock thickness, temperature relaxation downstream of the shock and details of the shock structure are dependent on the number of molecules per cell. Knowing these facts, the direct simulation Monte Carlo method has been applied to the shock structure close to a wall in a binary mixture. It has been found that the unmixing very close at the wall is different from that in the shock wave.
